However, most "normal USB printers" are GDI printers (also called host-based, which rely on the Windows graphics engine to convert the page into dots on the paper). GDI printers are notoriously hard to network, particularly with printservers. If you look at the website for a printserver, you usually find a list of supported printers. If your printer is not on that list, you must assume that printserver will not work with your printer.

If the printer is not GDI but supports a language like PCL5/6 or PostScript then just about every printserver will work. But you'll still have to live with the unreliable connection WiFi gives. which is why I would always prefer a wired connection.

However, my remarks about GDI still apply. The SEHs are severely restricted in printer support. HP's website shows a list of supported printers but note that they're HP only. Scanning functions are not supported, but that is the case with all printservers.

GDPR? That's a regulation for the European Union. But, if you collect data from customers or employees within the EU, then you need to know about GDPR and make sure your organization is compliant by May 2018. Check out our preparation checklist to make sure you're on track today!
